Jester King Mad Meg
Saison 9 º
Jester King’s Mad Meg is a formidable Saison, crafted in the tradition of a Provision Ale designed for longevity. This golden-colored farmhouse ale balances its substantial 9% ABV with a remarkably clean malt profile and high attenuation. The sensory profile offers a sophisticated interplay of delicate fruity esters—reminiscent of pome and stone fruits—against a backdrop of earthy and spicy hops. The palate reveals a rustic complexity where spicy yeast phenols meet a firm hop bitterness, finishing bone-dry and effervescent. Despite its strength, it remains elegant, capturing a rustic essence through its nuanced fermentation character and lingering, peppery finish.
Appearance. Deep gold with a brilliant clarity that may show a slight haze from its unfiltered nature. It features a long-lasting, dense, rocky white head that leaves significant Belgian lace on the glass.
Aroma. High aromatic intensity featuring a complex blend of spicy black pepper phenols and fruity esters suggesting pear and lemon zest. Moderate hop character is notably earthy and spicy. The malt remains a clean, low-intensity grainy backdrop, while a soft, well-integrated alcohol warmth emerges as the beer breathes.
Taste. A masterful balance of spicy yeast phenols and citrusy fruit esters precedes a soft, grainy malt palate. Hop bitterness is moderate to firm, augmented by a very dry, peppery finish. The earthy hop flavors persist into a lingering, crisp aftertaste. Despite the high gravity, there is no heavy sweetness; the attenuation is very high, ensuring a clean and refreshing character.
Mouthfeel. Medium-bodied with a highly effervescent, prickly carbonation that provides a lively, scrubbing mouthfeel. A smooth, warming alcohol presence is noticeable but well-integrated, lacking any harshness.
